Eagle Byzantium

After receiving the news, Gao Wen did not dare to neglect. At this moment, Mr. Zhao was probably still rushing to his own business, so he asked Mr. Zhao's two servants to act as interpreters and accompany him.

In addition, in order to test the opponent's true strength, Gawain also ordered two squadrons of his own guard cavalry, ten standard regiments of the chief gunners of the imperial guards (one hundred and fifty), ten regiments of the halberdiers of the imperial guard, and various kinds of troops. Artillery and rocket vehicles were lined up in the open space outside the imperial camp to welcome Ye Tongpan's arrival.

According to Gao Wen's superficial understanding, the Emperor Song established a general judge in the newly occupied important cities such as Mofu, Tusi, and Amur. He probably wanted to imitate the management of newly occupied areas by Mongolia and Turks in later generations. "Every time he arrived at a city, he called this The magistrate Mingtong registered all the people in the city with seals and rosters, and then issued auxiliary troops, collected taxes and pacified the resistance forces, and initially established local institutions to support the expeditionary force's in-depth operations. "

However, when Ye Tongpuan arrived, Gawain discovered that his original guess was somewhat inconsistent with the facts. Although Ye Tongpuan was captured, he was still treated politely. He rode on a green mare, wore a majestic brocade official dress, and had an air of dignity on his head. official hat. In addition, his "number of agencies" is also very different from what Gawain expected: those captured together with the general magistrate include the governor, deputy governor, Kong Mu, escort, hooker, demolition, and food supply. There were no less than 20 or 30 general officials in the hospital, medical bureau, etc., and several county captains and elders he appointed also followed. According to Ye Tongpan, "etiquette and official authority cannot be abolished."

Prince Markianias, who was escorting Judge Ye Tong, came to the imperial camp first and told Gawain, "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why the people of Tus City dared to resist was because they saw that the officials brought by this Judge were much better than the guards. Much more."

"Is there such a thing?" Gawain was surprised.

Then the emperor wore a golden crown on his head and wore purple robes with gold edges. He erected a high platform under the golden eagle flags and flags, and sat on a throne inlaid with ivory and gold. There were majestic warriors on both sides surrounding the guards. Ye Tongpan, who walked in at a leisurely pace, saw this posture. , suddenly realized that the Great Emperor Fulu was definitely not like the Caotou King, so he restrained some of his original arrogance and started to worship, but there was still a bit of disdain in his eyes.

Gao Wen asked the interpreter to show Ye Tongsuan his seat.

"Although the two empires of the East and West did not have direct exchanges of envoys, they have always maintained a large amount of trade, and the people have benefited from it. What's more, I don't want to expand eastward at all. I just want to preserve the orderly boundaries of the previous empires. Is it okay to communicate with each other? Isn't it better? Why do your country need to mobilize its troops and fan the Khorasan and Ghaznavite in the river? What about the barbarian rebels in the Levant and the massacre of soldiers and civilians under Seljuk rule?" Although the emperor raised questions, his tone was very gentle and he expressed his wish to stop the war, "Why don't the great fair kings retreat to the Oxus River? Isn't it better to go to the east of Wuhu River and draw a border and establish a monument alliance and set up a trading ground for friendly exchanges? "

When Ye Dechen heard the weak and begging tone in the emperor's words, he immediately became intimidating, "Our emperor, Song Dynasty, has expanded thousands of miles in the past few years and recruited countless barbarians to surrender. The ones who suffered a small setback before were just the pioneers. Dechen Here is my advice to the king , Our emperor in the Song Dynasty used craftsmanship as armor and benevolence and morality as oars. Although the king has ferocious and capable minions under his command, they are just rich, Rakshasa, and Turkic people. When the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will all be turned into powder. It’s too late to regret it!”

These words made Gawain a little emotional. He blew his beard angrily and said, "My army may not lose to your country. Guard the cavalry and show your Majesty the General Judge your spear assault!"

With a chorus, Ye Dechen and several members of his captured team turned around, only to see that following the emperor's order, one hundred and fifty cavalry were arranged in a continuous formation, lying on the saddle, sandwiching He held his riding spear flat and neatly, and charged forward without hesitation. The spear blade hit the rope buckle hanging on the wooden stake accurately and accurately. His riding and spear skills were truly exquisite.

Unexpectedly, Ye Dechen sneered twice after reading it, "Even if there are thousands of people in the Imperial Song Dynasty, the Xiaoqi can still move forward one after another. If there is a beating of drums, they will advance even if there is boiling water in front of them. If there is a sound of gold, they will retreat even if there is a sea of ​​fire behind them." "

Gawain was at a loss for words, so he ordered the halberdiers of the guards and the elite skirmishers of the brigade to attack each other like lightning on the plain in front.

Ye Dechen shook his head again and laughed: "Such little stabbing skills are not worth mentioning. The Emperor Song newly collected 30,000 iron kites and iron cripples from Hengshan. They mounted their horses and flew like lightning. They dismounted and walked through the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground. They held horses and held iron swords. , there are unpredictable opportunities from gods and ghosts, you and others are just marching together, and they will be destroyed when they encounter them. "

The emperor couldn't sit still, so he asked the imperial guards to change their teams and fire volleys in turn. The wooden target in front of the gun mouth was smashed into pieces like rain; then he asked the gunner to fire, even the target on the hill in the distance. of.

But Ye Dechen instead lowered his head and shook his head, swinging his official hat back and forth like two sticks, and just sneered in silence, looking completely disdainful.

"Yelang is arrogant." This was Judge Tong's final comment.

In the end, Gawain couldn't hold himself back any longer. He said angrily, "The King of Justice may not have much military power in the river. He will only drive the barbarians. And if your country sends troops from the country, it may not be possible even if it takes half a year."

After hearing this, Ye Dechen's mouth widened in surprise, and then he laughed wildly. Then he suppressed his laughter, regained his calmness and elegance, and explained to the emperor:

"Don't say that the army under the command of King Da Gong is more than enough to destroy the king. Even if it is to transport troops from the country, what is the difficulty? Our Emperor Song has already had the magic of Six Ding and Liujia. He can transport troops thousands of miles in a flash, as fast as lightning."

Gawain slowly leaned his back against the throne, looking at Judge Ye Tong, who was a prisoner but more confident than a VIP. He felt that although the weather was hot, there was a chill rising from the soles of his boots. He could only wave his hand helplessly, "The decisive battle between the two armies is the day of victory or defeat. As a sign of respect, I will first send Judge Ye Tong and others back to Bukhara on the other side of the Oxus River. No insult or harm shall be done."

Ye Dechen stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, and said to Gawain sincerely, "Your Majesty has a generous and kind heart, but how can you limit yourself to Dechen alone? Although Fulin is a small country, it has tens of millions of people. I hope Your Majesty will sympathize with the people and surrender as soon as possible, and you will not lose your title."

After the judge left, Gawain returned to the imperial camp and said to Cabe Amiya who was waiting there, "Did you see the scene today?"

A correct version at 1619, 1 book, 1 forum!

"Is that judge just bluffing?"

Gawain shook his head heavily, indicating that he didn't know, and then he raised his finger and looked at Bohemond's ring, "Bohemond, you are the same person as me in your bones. How can I be willing to surrender? Everything remains unchanged according to the original plan! No matter how terrible the Song army is, we must deceive our subordinates and cannot lose confidence and fighting spirit before the battle."

Then Gawain sat down, closed his heavy eyelids, adjusted his breathing, and waited for new information.
